Today we stopped in for the buffet lunch at Bombay Grill’s First St. location in Champaign, IL. It was quite busy, which surprised me with this being Thanksgiving Week. We still had no wait for a table, though. The buffet was a nice combination of Indian favorites, including chicken tikka masala, saag, lamb curry, zucchini aloo, veggie pakoras, a couple of other dishes and, of course, rice. There was also a nice spread of condiments and desserts. The buffet comes with a naan and some Tandoori chicken. I also ordered a Kingfisher.

I had chicken tikka masala over rice and and a few pakoras. Sarah had the saag, some chicken tikka masala, and some zucchini aloo. The chicken tikka masala was pretty spicy, but not overwhelming. The food in general was fresh and well prepared. The naan and Tandoori chicken are served very warm and are a nice addition to the meal. All in all, an excellent lunch. A little pricier than most choices on Green St., but well worth it and easily doable in an hour.
